Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Polarities refer to the opposite and conflicting feelings or attitudes that individuals may experience in different aspects of their life, such as work versus personal life or being a parent versus being an individual. Martin's conflicting feelings about being a good father, husband, and provider versus feeling angry at his wife are a good example of polarities.
